Best Practices
- Start planning early: Durham NCWIT required
months of preparation before training began
- Be prepared to spend a lot of time phone-banking,
canvassing , and marketing to attract participants
- Anticipate and prepare for attrition, ask if local
partners may be able to help recruit through their media outlets
- Make parents happy, running a digital literacy
program for youngsters means being diplomatic with caregivers as well

Successes & Failures

refurbished desktop computers
- 50% attrition rate
- Though funding impedes sustainability,
ConnectHome-DHA residents continue to be offered training
- Digital inclusion initiatives are catching
fire in Durham, digital literacy efforts are expanding and increasing

Lessons Learned
▪ Keep parents apprised of pick-up/drop-off times and locations ▪ Maintain effective and timely contact with partners and organizations providing trainings ▪ Be vigilant! Some PHA properties may have issues with security and safety ▪ Transportation: must be reliable, affordable and punctual; Plan routes in advance! Avoid traffic. ▪ Share your successes with your PHA, HUD, ConnectHome partners AND your city, county and state agencies, etc. ▪ Always get the photo release consent form for marketing Camden Nashville Durham
